Who doesn't remember the glorious Matra years that saw victories in F1 (world title for Jackie Stewart) and a three-time winner in the 24 Hours of Le Mans with Henri Pescarolo?
What about the Matra-Simca Bagheera, the revolutionary sports car that made hearts beat in the 1970s? Who knows the Talbot-Matra Murena that succeeded it in 1980?
It improved on the Bagheera, but suffered from a failing distribution network and was unable to establish itself as the GTI wave threatened sports coupes.
However, the experts know how much intrinsic value this car had and how cleverly its potential could have been developed.
Today, the Murena, a three-seater sports car with a transverse mid-engine and a hot-galvanised chassis, is appreciated for its exceptional dynamic qualities and avant-garde design.
This beautifully illustrated book traces its history, with a wealth of information and data.
